Camping food has a bad reputation but it is not too difficult to create a healthy, easy menu and then cook those meals in the outdoors. These camping recipes will make your campfire or dutch oven cooking more enjoyable and tasty. Many of these free cooking recipes are intended to also minimize the number of dirty pots and pans so clean up is less of a chore. Hopefully, you will find something new and easy to try on your next camping outing. There's no reason while the food you eat while camping can't be good, healthy, and easy.

as spl this is a great way to get some new things cooking in the kichten

Love the recipes, but I would suggest some pictures. Camping and camping recipes are hot on Pinterest. I bet it would make a great badge or even an Eagle Scout project to provide great images for all the Scout leaders to share the joy of Scouting with a bigger audience.

Donna - you're right. Everyone please feel free to send me photos of any camp cooking you do and I'll add them to the recipes as I've done with some already.

Years ago we had a recipe for hot chocolate mix. Don't remember the quantities but remember it had nestles chocolate, carnation instant milk, powdered sugar. Would you have this recipe? I think it was a coleman recipe.

I once had wagon wheels (sandwich) at a boy scout event. They were wonderful! I was wondering if ANYONE has this recipe. If so I would greatly appreciate it!
